Let the transformation begin...

This weekend we were able to find a crib and the dresser/changing table combo unit that we loved (as well as the mattress, toddler bed rails, and full-sized bed rails) at a place called Buy Buy Baby in Durham/Chapel Hill, NC. The store is HUGE and is basically a Bed, Bath and Beyond for babies and is known to be the "mecca for expectant parents."

Here's a pic of the crib and the combo unit (we got it without the hutch b/c we want to be able to use it as a changing table as well)...



We're going to pick it up today and start to set up a few things to get an idea of the spacing in the room. We still need to get a bookcase or other storage system for things like books and toys, but we'll get that a little later.

The crib is great-- it's considered a 4-in-1. So that means that it'll be used as a crib, a toddler bed, a child's day bed, and later it converts to a full-sized bed with headboard/footboard/side rails. Great deal-- it'll last her forever. And the dresser isn't too "babyish," this way it'll last her until she's probably a pre-teen. (SCARY to think ahead that far!!!)

Before we can move the furniture into the room, though, we have to empty out the "Man Room" and move everything into the old guest room. Let the transformation begin!
